Stephanie Schuman

Stephanie Schuman is Of Counsel to the Law Offices of Joseph A. Bondy. Ms. Schuman is a thorough strategist and aggressive litigator, who does not relent until her client’s objectives have been achieved. She began her career at the Innocence Project under the supervision of attorneys Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld. Ms. Schuman is proud of her criminal defense work, but it is her prior experience in the highly regulated alcohol industry that she believes gives her an edge over many other lawyers practicing cannabis law today. She was instrumental in launching a thriving liquor brand, single-handedly raising a majority of its seed capital, and participating in all aspects of the brand’s business development while sitting on its board. Ms. Schuman is the founder and principal attorney of Leaf Legal, P.C., one of the nation’s first full-service cannabis-only firms, focusing on all aspects of canna-business, including business formation, licensing, regulatory compliance, risk evaluation, intellectual property, land use, and corporate transactions. Counsel to a number of accredited cannabis investors, Ms. Schuman has a perfect record in winning her clients’ claims, including against well-known, multi-billion dollar, publicly traded companies.
